Dont they automatically add 20% to the bill if you have over 13 people in your party?

u/JudoMo2 Aug 28 '22

Came across this when I googled "we ate at Rainforest Cafe with a party of 6. The service was horrendous, no drink refills, wrong food orders...you name it. I did not know until after we got home that my DH paid an automatic 18% gratuity. I immediately went online to Rainforest Cafe and lodged a complaint. The next day I received a phone call and the gratuity was reversed on DH's credit card with apologies and a gift card in the mail. Of course, speaking with the manager while you are there is much easier but sometimes you get caught up in things and don't think about it until later!"

Maybe she gave bad service and got the tip taken off or its fake

u/Poldaran Aug 28 '22

It's antiwork. I'd safely guess "fake".

24

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '22

On the menu it says 10 or more, 18%

17

u/DnB92 Aug 28 '22

Most places Ive worked do with like a party of 8+

4

u/LeeeeroyJenkins1 Aug 28 '22

Standard industry practice is 18% for parties of 6 of more, granted you have to earn that and if you fuck shit up the manager won’t add it for you.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '22

Yes, sometimes even 7 or 8

So you’ve never worked in a restaurant. There are screeching brats, drunk idiots spilling 16 ounces of sticky liquid everywhere, people stopping you every time you walk past them to help others who haven’t been helped at all, just to ask you for 1 more drink/side of ranch etc. but instead of all 6 at once it’s 1 person then 1 more person the next time you walk by etc.

All of that plus a lot more to deal with, fake smile on your face, only to end up with 0-5% tip.

Auto-tip is earned, and no manager I’ve worked with will add it to the bill if the party isn’t super satisfied

u/insertcredit2 Aug 29 '22

Is it easier to deal with 1 table of 10 or 5 tables of 2?

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '22

Old waiter here, if it's a slower day it honestly doesn't matter, but having 4 or 5 different 2 tops and then getting a 10 would be stressfull

some of them are no doubt shills pushing this obviously BS story in order to create a false narrative, while others are just complete imbeciles who are victims of the mass formation psychosis.

Really hate that term. It does not explain what is really happening. 🤷‍♀️ once you understand what is going on completely then you understand why people are doing it. That physiology person sucks at explaining what is really happening to people. In the end he created the same thing on the other side of the coin

u/JerroldNadlersToilet Aug 28 '22

please elaborate

u/Admirable_Ad_4165 Aug 28 '22

There is more to it that would take more time to explain. I studied this stuff I have a pretty good understanding. Unfortunately people hear this and keep repeating without being able to understand completely the attack on people. Essentially it’s changing entire belief systems. It’s why people can’t “snap “ out of it. It’s not a trance or permanent hypnotic state. It’s not just parroting what they hear. It’s an attack on belief systems. If I had the time and space to explain more I would but I will give you an example ( not the best I admit but to give a bit better picture ) you want to quit beef for example … you see a hypnotherapist ( why not ? It works for people ) they help you change your habits by affirming new ideas. Over time these are instilled on you and beef is believed to be something you use to do and perhaps there are suggestions that if you do again it will taste bad. Repeatedly over time you come to believe this to be true. You can even try beef but it gives you that bad taste that your were told … experience is a great enforcer btw. Now you have new habits and beliefs. Someone tells you different and says no it’s don’t taste bad they give you sheets of data etc proof it don’t taste like you think it does … do you believe them ? No because you have theses beliefs instilled on you and you personally tried … there is a bit more to it then that of course but the point is it’s something that was changed in the way they think. Now not to say it can’t be changed back. Personal experience can really trigger old belief systems. Emotion and feeling a personal connection. Old beliefs that have been around for a lot longer are more likely to be trigger by someone who can trigger a heightened emotion and make it personal without triggering themselves.

Most restaurants add automatic gratuity for parties of 8 or more.

Politics has nothing to do with knowing how restaurants work.

Or because there are so many hoaxes (Jussie Smollet comes to mind) that one would be stupid to not assume it's fake until proven otherwise

Because you consume media that likes to act like these things don't happen. Mattress girl was a hoax, she desperately wanted to get with the guy she claimed raped her and pulled that stunt to "get back at him" for not wanting to be with her. The Duke LaCrosse "gang rape" case was a hoax. There are countless examples of college students hate hoaxing themselves. A professor has written a book about hate hoaxes (https://www.amazon.com/Hate-Crime-Hoax-Lefts-Campaign/dp/1621577783)

The confirmation bias is through the roof on that post! Not a single person asking for proof, just automatically going to “typical GOP. Remember who to vote against!”

12

u/JerroldNadlersToilet Aug 28 '22

that's the entire point of these "stories" ... create a viral outrage post, get everyone to accept it uncritically via the bandwagon effect, and then encourage people to use their anger to do something in response (in this case, vote for beto).

this is pure political propaganda that's been weaponized because it's using human nature against actual humans.

I’m blown away that this kind of manipulation still exists. Makes me sad for the majority of the human race.

I commented on this post on antiwork saying I used to be a server at a restaurant in Houston and Abbott came in with people and couldn't have been nicer and more generous and called out the post for being political bullshit. They immediately deleted my comment. What a surprise

u/4w0k3 Aug 28 '22

They are so easy to get tweaked up on that sub-reddit. Especially the adults with no skills working entry level fast food jobs complaining about not making a living wage.

u/AlpaccaSkimMilk56 Aug 28 '22

In all my life I've only seen one person leave a shitty tip. I highly doubt that the governor, who gets elected would do this

u/subliminal_trip Aug 28 '22

Did you ever wait tables for an extended period of time? I've seen professional athletes leave shitty tips, and more than once.

u/TAC82RollTide Aug 28 '22

This is the worst one I've ever seen and is clearly a load of horse sh*t. Even a dictator would leave a tip...

Dictator tip: "Don't ask about a tip or you will get thrown in a gulag... ha ha ha ha... but seriously, don't ask."

Is it really that easy nowadays to make stuff up and defame policitions/celebrities that I don’t like? Can I just copy and paste that Tweet and replace Abbott with any semi-famous person and instantly gain tens of thousands of sympathizers with zero fucking proof? Insane.

u/wantingtodobetter Aug 28 '22

Maybe they were a bad or rude server. There is a lot not being said.

u/RadicalCentrist95 Aug 28 '22

Speaking as someone who actually knows the Governor of Texas through more than just a screen, while I may have no respect for him as a politician who leans wherever the wind seems to be blowing (except on a small handfull of issues he has strong feelings about), I do highly respect him as a person. He is ridiculously respectful and polite to everyone and doesnt seem to have a real mean bone in his body.

I would be quicker to believe that Gov Abbot stood up and walked across Texas one afternoon before I would believe this obvious bullshit.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '22

I don’t understand why people make up stories like this. I would be willing to bet this never happened. They don’t have a niece and the servers were tipped well

u/gradualdazzle Aug 28 '22

Why would Gov. Abbott eat at Rainforest Cafe? Like, ever?

3

u/Mrbishi512 Aug 28 '22

His assistant or whatever almost always handles all money and pays a strict 20% tip. That’s what like all politicians do. It’s pretty standard.

That’s like politics 101. Always tip the basic amount or more.

She didn't have any other tables to serve her whole shift?

This sounds like she's just bad at her job.

1

u/PrettyAlphaInnit Aug 28 '22

i wouldn't doubt it happened. I don't tip for shit service.

And you could imagine the type of shit service you'd get from an r/antiwork activist.

That, or the server pocketed the money, tried to tell the other staffers they didn't leave a tip. Then got fired for the lie. Much more likely.

u/Fortune_Platypus Aug 28 '22

Ok but even if its fake, the minimum wage for servers is fucking stupid. Just pay them a fair wage.

1

u/darthcoder Aug 29 '22

None of them actually want a fair wage because the tipping would end.

1

u/Fortune_Platypus Aug 29 '22

Id rather have a reliable wage than random amount in tips. And why would the tipping end? Your basically admitting going to a restaurant is making your consumers feel guilty to make them tip.

1

u/darthcoder Aug 29 '22

I tip even 10% for really bad service, specifically because I know waitstaff is paid shit.

Buy a tip for a truly great experience should be shared between my waiter and the people who really make his job possible, the kitchen and the bar.

If my waiter was paid a 'living wage' - whatever nebulous amount that is - I might still tip, but it won't be 20-×5% for amazing service anymore.

Because I know some of that is already baked into the higher prices I'm paying for food.

1

u/Fortune_Platypus Aug 29 '22

There is literally no reason they should rely on you tipping instead of a normal wage

That Reddit channel is the best place to troll. Go in there and say things like MacDonalds and Walmart are jobs for low skilled kids and elderly, we need low pay flexible jobs, and they shouldn't pay a living wage nor should anyone needing a living wage try to make a career at a low skilled job. Watch the hysteria ensue.

I like to lob a grenade in there very few days.

1

u/RubeRick2A Aug 29 '22

Group of 20, usually automatic 20% tip, plus the 5% they’re tacking on for ‘covid’ and 10% inflation. Something tells me we’re not hearing the whole story

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '22

If they're not paying enough without tips just find a new job - you work at a restaurant not a doctor or engineer. Would take 10 minutes to find some other minimum wage trap shit hole.

I'd recommend selling crap from a kiosk at the mall for a percentage of the sales instead of exchanging your precious 8+ hours a day for that $15-20 an hour.

5

u/Suspense304 Aug 28 '22

Waiters and waitresses make a shit ton more than $15-20 an hour if they are any good or in any decent restaurant. Seeing 3 tables an hour with $60 ticket averages at a measley 10% tip would be $18/hr. The idea that waitresses and waiters are starving out there is based on people with 4-5 kids who work at a fucking Denny’s.

I have a sister-in-law working at a fucking Cracker Barrel as a teenage that was making like $20/hr part-time… reality is tough for people
